Anonymous wins victory in drug cartel fight
"As many have heard, the individual who was kidnapped was indeed identified by Zetas, which changes things. More later," he tweeted. "I will not be releasing Zeta names from those e-mails, but will be going after other cartels with help from informants," adding in another tweet that the emails "are going to [the German newsmagazine] Der Spiegel."
"Meanwhile, those who have been in possession of the emails have promised to provide them to me alone, which is to say that everything that proceeds from now on is my own work, and not that of Anonymous," Brown, an American citizen residing in Dallas, said. "Any reprisals against anyone other than myself, then, will have no effect."
"I will be proceeding carefully and with the assistance of several parties who are equipped to assess the contents of these e-mails and particularly those portions dealing with Zeta collaborators. I'll announce the next step in a few days," Brown said.
The effort to unmask the Zetas, one of the most feared and ruthless of Mexico's drug cartels, had split the Anonymous movement in the Americas, with many members arguing in Internet chat rooms that the risk of horrible death was too great to proceed. A budding domestic effort among Mexican Internet users to expose the cartels was crushed this summer when the mutilated bodies of two bloggers were found hanging from a highway overpass, and a third was found decapitated in a park.
On Pastebin, Brown acknowledged the risk to his own life, but argued he had no choice.
"The idea that I should refrain from assisting in the naming of probable criminals operating in a foreign country without a working judicial system lest I be murdered is a cowardly sentiment," he said. "No individual living in the free world should refrain from working to fight injustice simply because there is a possibility of retaliation."
